Chapter 236 Huazhou and Ghost Academy

At the entrance to the underground arch under the Ghost Lighthouse of Crystal City, three people were having a discussion in a special ground boat.

Uluru was shivering a little.

 The other two people who spoke have unusual backgrounds.

 One is the prophet chosen by the White God, a former martial monk and ghost doctor, Ms. Yaopu. She now also resides in the Ghost Lighthouse, and has been working hard to push the ghosts of the Empire out of the tower and rebuild the old capital of the Empire.

 The other one is the wise man Locust Jue of the bully Locust tribe. He was designated as a prophet by the Yao God. He led the tribe to break away from the shackles of instinct and found a path to integrate into the Yao civilization.

 The locust swarms left behind gradually evolved into today's killing migratory locusts. Most of them are ignorant and only know how to plunder food and often kill each other for food.

 Uluru was really a little nervous in front of the two prophets.

“…Mr. Uluru, tell me what you think?” Locust Jue looked at him.

The Wuji man stiffened. He took out a notebook and wrote on it with a quill: Are you talking about the problem of locust swarms?

"right."

Locust Jue is much smaller than a human. It is lying on the seat, with two linear tentacles on its head swaying slightly, and its compound eyes are looking at the Wuji man in front of it seriously.

Uluru thought about it in his mind.

Crystal City has gone through a series of reconstruction and rectification, and now it has completely driven the locust swarms out of the city. The guards of flame totems and green roses have also blocked the way for the locust swarms to sneak in from the underground.

However, there are still a large number of insect swarms lurking near the outside of the city, and they may emerge from the soil at any time and attack the citizens of Crystal City along the way.

 This is the most serious security problem at present, which not only affects the residents of Crystal City, but also threatens the merchants and workers who come from other cities to trade here.

Warrior monks cleared away tens of thousands of locust swarms, but because the killing migratory locusts were extremely prolific and did not avoid cannibalism, the dead simply became food for the living.

 The clearing operation outside Crystal City lasted for several months, and the effect was really mediocre.

 Hongjue's idea is that since the gods have not destroyed this race, it means that they have some value. To deal with disasters, it is better to block them than to remove them.

It proposes to use bully locusts to communicate with local killing migratory locusts - the two are a source in themselves and can communicate with each other without any barriers.

 After the killing migratory locusts have been fighting in the local area for many years, various groups have also formed. The styles of groups in different regions are also very different. Some migratory locust groups are stable and conservative, some are radical and crazy, some wander around hunting, and some are keen on stealing.

Locust Jue believes that we should find groups that can be recruited and let them be used by Crystal City.

 In this way, the movements and intelligence of the killing migratory locusts will be very clear. With each additional group of collaborators, there will be fewer potential enemies and threats.

 It has tried it and found that some of the migratory locusts are willing to kill. The harsh and barren wild life and precarious life-and-death hunting are not what all locust swarms want.

 Hongjue also explained his intentions very frankly.

It is not only for the sake of Crystal City, but also for the killing migratory locust clan to gradually get rid of the primitive life of drinking hair and blood and enter the circle of civilization like the bully locusts in the past.

Of course, changing the way of life of a group is not an easy task and requires a gradual process.

 …

Uluru wrote a sentence on the paper with a pen, then picked up the paper and showed it to the two prophets.

—I think it’s a good idea to try it with Huazhou.

“Is this a new type of ground boat? I came here in a hurry and haven’t had a good look yet.”

Chajue flew out from the side exit and observed in mid-air.

From the air, this shuttle-shaped boat is of medium size, like a galley without sails, stranded in the mud.

Differing from other fully enclosed ground boats, this fusiform boat has three tall green roses planted on the top, and they watch each other at equal distances.

The brown-yellow ground boat has thorny flower branches and green petals growing on it, giving it a unique and unique beauty.

 Hongjue immediately understood the ingenuity of this land boat.

It flew back into the boat and said with some wonder: "Use green roses as defensive weapons. Whenever a swarm of locusts attacks, they will be attacked by the spikes shot by the roses... What an ingenious idea!"

“Uluru is a real genius.” Yaopu said with a smile, “This is certified by Fabiani.”

Uluru turned the page with his fingers, revealing the writing on the next page.

—The green roses cultivated by Mr. Pinkman are not picky about the environment, are easy to transplant, have a gentle temperament, and can grow tenaciously as long as there is soil and water.

—The most difficult thing is actually the transformation of Dixingzhou. The surface environment is completely different from the underground environment. Only the bottom of the ground boat can contact the soil and stones. Many Wuji people have participated in the improvement, but the speed of the flower boat has never been improved. It is slower than a camel, and it can only sail in flat areas.

 “This is just a small problem and has no impact.”

Locust Jue said: "It is much more durable than mules and horses. As long as it is controlled by Wuji people, it can not only ensure the safety of the passengers inside, but also transport the goods intact. It is really an epoch-making vehicle, amazing!"

 “There’s more to Uluru than meets the eye.”

Yao Pu said for the Wuji geologist: "He will use the flower boat to regain the abandoned farmland, protect the farmland by planting green roses, and gradually restore the planting areas outside the city."

Locust Jue sighed: "Indeed, this is the long-term solution. Crystal City will definitely be revived, and Huazhou will become an extension of the city."

Uluru breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he has met many heroes with his teacher Fabiani, this is the first time he has faced them alone.

If the teacher's wife, Ms. Yaopu, were not there, he felt that he would not be able to explain clearly.

However, whether it is recruiting and assimilating locust swarms, or building flower boats to expand rose plantings, they all rely on Crystal City's own strength, and it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of manpower.

 Ms. Yaopu has taken a crucial step in connecting and attracting the outside world and stimulating Crystal City’s own advantages.

Uluru believes that what she did laid the foundation for everything that followed.

 “Let me also talk about my progress.”

Yaopu patted his forehead with his finger armor, and the noise in the armor was slightly reduced.

“Not long ago, I have formally reached an agreement with Cupilol, the leader of Yaocheng Temple Society, Shibao Seer of Yancheng, Mayor of Copper Sea, and Mayor Chapman of Sanillo.”

“Crystal City’s Ghost Lectures will be officially held regularly in three cities.”

"The speakers are all experienced ghost remnants of the empire. The Fifth Fearless Empire is very accomplished in military science, medicine, architecture, and casting and smelting. The speakers will also give courses in these areas and impart the valuable knowledge accumulated by the empire. "

"The city that listens to the lecture will pay a remuneration, part of which will be given directly to the lecturer. The outstanding lecturers will be hired as professional ghost lecturers. They will not only lecture at the lighthouse in Crystal City, but also tour various cities. speech."

Yaopu paused and said: "In this way, the nearly 100,000 permanent ghost residents of Crystal City can all use their respective abilities. As long as they have mastered knowledge and experience, they can be cashed in to wealth, reputation and dignity."

“The precious knowledge left by the empire should not be buried, it is a good thing to circulate it.”

She smiled: "By combining what we are doing, Crystal City will surely recover quickly. Coupled with the direct benefits brought by glass products, this city will get better and better, far beyond the imperial period."

“At that time, maybe this place will not be weaker than Yaocheng and Yancheng.”

 The three of them were discussing how to further utilize the empire’s heritage when a burst of white light lit up on the ghost lighthouse.

"This is…"

After Yaopu confirmed it again and again, he shouted in surprise: "A wonder, a new wonder has been born in Crystal City!"

 “This is...Ghost Academy.”

 “Ghost Academy! God gave the name!”

 The three of them became excited.

They can all clearly feel that the Ghost Academy, which was upgraded from the Ghost Lighthouse, has more power than before. This will be a sign of the re-emergence of Crystal City.
